Seasons and weather
The climate is tropical and year-long warm between 26°C/79°F and 30°C/86°F. The period between October and May is called the Northwest Monsoon in the Seychelles. This season is characterized by the lack of strong winds. Ideal, calm sea conditions normally prevail, and this favours big game fishing, snorkelling and diving. Underwater visibility is at its best.
Northwest Monsoon
The Northwest Monsoon is the period of highest humidity, and is also the rainy season for this region of the western Indian Ocean. Tropical Monsoon rain usually falls in heavy, short, sharp showers... after which the sun reappears and the vacation continues. Rains lasting for longer periods are not usually encountered more than a couple of times during the rainy period of the year. Rain can fall in any month of the year.
South East Monsoon
The period between May and October is called the South East Monsoon in the Seychelles. This season is characterized by the daily, steady South East Trade Winds which tend to make for rough sea conditions. Water sports like sailing and windsurfing are popular activities at this time, but snorkelling, diving and fishing are less successful due to the rough sea conditions and impaired visibility. Rain is less likely during this season, whilst humidity is at its lowest level during the South East Monsoon. During the South East Monsoon, the current of the sea can be very strong and swimming is therefore recommended on the most protected beach close to the Marina or in one of our pools only.
There is almost never a day that the island’s beaches do not constitute one of the major attractions of the Resort, whilst walking the trails and the unique Nature Experience are outdoor activities that are always to be enjoyed during any season.
